The Sweetest Medicine

The phone kept ringing with no intention to stop. Yu Gangan had just fallen asleep but slowly woke up with a frown.

He Shigui finally grabbed the phone and answered it in the living room, “Hello, Mr. Fang.”

On the other end, the man fell silent for a short moment before his cold voice rang across the phone, “Where is she?”

He Shigui answered truthfully, “She is sick. She just had some medicine and fell asleep.”

After a pause, he added, “Thank you, Mr. Fang, for blocking the knife for Gangan.”

“It was only right for me to save her.”

Fang Zhihan’s meaning was clear. But, He Shigui simply smiled and replied, “You’re too polite, Mr. Fang.”

“Since you’re her teacher and you returned safely, we should treat you to a meal.”

His politeness was just a mask. He Shigui’s eyes turned cold, “If someone’s going to treat anyone to food, it should be me and Gangan treating you. By the way, Officer Zhou must have told you by now that this all started because Jiang Baian was illegally testing drugs. Jiang Baian’s target was me. So, thank you for yesterday.”

Fang Zhihan did not fight over who was to treat the meal. He simply said, “Then, let’s have lunch tomorrow. I will ask my assistant to arrange it,” his voice was calm, yet dominant.

He was quick and clean, striking swiftly and making the decision without giving He Shigui a chance to refuse.

He then hung up politely.

He Shigui held onto his phone and his eyes slowly emitted a deep and unpredictable glow.

…

Yu Gangan had taken medicine and fallen asleep. When she woke up in the afternoon, her fever was almost gone, her head wasn’t dizzy anymore, and her body was a lot more relaxed.

She was simply hungry.

He Shigui heated up some congee in a pot and it was ready just as Yu Gangan woke up. He filled a bowl for her and said, “Have some of this for now and we will have dinner soon.”

Yu Gangan smiled and nodded her head, “OK. Thank you, Master Handsome.”

Her teacher was great. He was gentle, considerate, and good-looking. Moreover, he was a good cook, he was capable, he had his own clinic, and he could fight against hooligans.

Which woman would benefit from this in the future?

Yu Gangan was truly hungry. In a blink, she finished an entire bowl and handed it back to He Shigui, “Master Handsome, I want more.”

He Shigui smiled.

He held onto the bowl and went to fill it again in the kitchen, “Just two bowls for now. We will have dinner soon.”

“En.”

Yu Gangan received the bowl and mumbled as she drank the congee, “Master Handsome, you’re not young anymore. You should start a family soon so I can tell your wife to fill it for me.”

In the past, she was devoted to studying and never dated. But, she never considered that her teacher was getting old and needed a wife and children.

After this incident, she felt her teacher really needed to get married, start a family, and find a wife to keep him under check.

Yu Gangan’s voice was quiet; almost inaudible.

So, He Shigui did not hear her properly, “What did you say?”

Yu Gangan smiled cheekily but she did not dare to say it a second time, “I was saying that Zhang Sa and Chen Fuli were really worried about you as well. They are both in Beijing. Should we have a meal with them?”

He Shigui refused, “I already called them. We will catch up when they are in Baiyang City.”

“Master Handsome, are you afraid of seeing Zhang Sa? Hehe…” As Yu Gangan spoke, she leaned back slightly like she was afraid He Shigui would punish her for being nosy.
